l"uiliiii:tr is a tniness, ami It has
been mine lor fniii-icou years, during
which tiiiic luniraily 1 have had sum,'
iit'cr experiences. If 1 have attained
any nieces as an arbitrator It Is be-
intse 1 have i;i:t lay mind down id
iny work and fciven It Just as much cf
my time and thought as have been
given hi it lift Ikn's and professions.
I believe tliat tlii' umpire Is every bit
ns much of feature at a ball pune
as arc Ilk' ball tossers. Mure di-potuls
upon liini. a uil lio shdiilil ivalk-.e t'.iis
fact when hi.' stops upon the Held. It
lias always been my idea to let the
jnililic and tlic players know that the
umpire is tin' real thins. lit shoit'd
create tills impression when he walks
on the tield and Impress It tin every
body a mind as tin; tame progresses.
1 have made a study to pve the
public all that Is condiis to them from
the nniplve. The people hi the neat
arc entitled to know what decisions I
render, and 1 try to make this plain
both by signals of the hands and
arms and nNo by the peculiar manner
of announcing strikes and balls.
I draw out strikes as Ions as possi
ble, so that they can be easily dis
tinguished from the balls. I never say
"two" because that Is sometimes nils
understood, while "tun" Is never mis
taken for anything else.
One of the most Important thlncs
that I do Is to jrwt as near to every
play ns possible. The umpire should
move about, and the players should
do the same. The umpire should put
lots of action Into his work, and the
players will follow suit. There Is
nothing more tiresome than n drajrjjy
came of ball, and the umpire can make
it drajrjry if he Is so disposed. I al
ways make the players hustle, and I
have never yet found n player who
did not want to get 'through a ttaine
as quickly ns possible.
Umpires sometimes make trouble for
themselves by allowing the game to
net out of his hands. The umpire
should always hold the players in
cheek, and they would never have
any trouble with the ball tossers. 1
started to umpire when I was but
twenty years old, nnd I have been at
It ever since. Umpiring is not nlways
plensnnt. but I like my work.
In order to be n successful arbitrator
one must possess a cool head nnd be a
pood judge of the players, for the ma
jority of them are up to nil kinds of
tricks. For Instance, here is n scheme
that Frank Ishell of the Chicago
White Sox tried to work on me some
years ago. Isbell wanted to get out of
the game. It was bitter cold, and he
did not feel like playing. But lie did
not feel like going to. the manager of
the team and saying that he didn't
want to play. So he hit upon the
scheme of being put out of the game.
In one of the early Innings he tried
to steal second, nnd I declared him
out. "I wasn't out, nnd anybody who
siiys I was out doesn't know what lie Is
talking about," said Frank. He was
hoping that I would put him out of
the game, but I was on to his trick.
The next time he got on first he start
ed for second ngain. Once more I had
to call him out. "I'm not out!" howled
Isbell. "Nobody but n crooked umpire
would call me out." The third time
up he singled and once more started
to steal second. This time he was out
by two feet. "I wasn't out!" he yelled
and handed out n line of talk that was
calculated to get him put out of the
game. As the day was cold and raw
he woind rather be sitting on the bench
In the clubhouse than on the bench of
the plnylng field. Frank saw that I
was on to his game nnd for the rest
of the game remained very quiet.

J) j
Are extra limine games a two- '
I doo for the Detroit Tigers?
t Judging by the results in over- J
time games this season this looks
to be a fiiet. Up to date the
champs have participated In 'i
T four such games. Two went ten
Innings, one eleven innings, and h
another strung along fifteen in-
nings. And the Tigers have lost A

etarooara and Larboard.
The Italians derived "etaTboard"
from qiiesta bordn, "this side," and,
"larboard" from quclla borda,'
which means "tliat Bide." Abbre-.
viated titcso two phrases appear as.
sta borda and In borda. Their close1
resemblance caused so many mis-j
takes that the admiralty ordered
the "larboard" to be discontinued1
nd "port" substituted. 'Tort" forj
"larboard" is said to be first used
in Arthur Pitt's "Voyages" in 1850. ;

If O'Neil decides to enter the Dia

well represented. Before the three

to be decided.

INTERNATIONAL SHOOT.
Team Match With Canada For Spencer
Trophy.
An Interesting event of the shooting
season of the New Jersey range at Sea
Girt will be the llrst International
rille match with Canada, which will
be shot lWut Sept. 10 if the challenge
Issued to Ihe Canadians by the Ameri
cans Is accepted, as It Is expected it
will be. The challenge comes from the
Association of American International
Ititlemen, which Is limited to those
who have represented America In In
ternational contests, such as the I'alma
trophy and the Olympic games, ntal
Includes a number of the foremost
military shots of the country.
According to (lie terms of the chal
lenge, tho match Is to be shot alter
nately first nt Sea Girt and tli,en nt Ot
tawa between Sept. 1 and Nov. 1 each
year. The teams are limited to six
principals and two alternates, all mem
bers to bu citizens of the country they
represent.
Evert Saya He Will Never Dis
pute Umpire Decisions Again.
Second Baseman Johnny Evcrs
of the Chicago National league
baseball team has arrived at the
conclusion that It is the best pol
icy not to dispute any decision
rendered by an umpire. Aud he
has made up his mind not to
protest vociferously on any ver
dict given ngalnst him this sum
mer. In the past Evcrs litis been
known as tin Inveterate kicker
on close decisions at Ihe plate
and nt other places on tlte dia
mond. At times he resented the
Judgment of the Indicator han
dler so strong'' that he was
I'Jeetid from the contest, sus
pended by the pp'shh'tit of the
league end. In addition, fined.
All this looms up as a piece of
foolishness to the second sticker,
and he declares It Is a thing of
the past with him. Ills reputa
tion as a kl"kor will drift Into
oblivion, and he expects soon to
be known as "Peaceful Evcrs."
